Welwyn Preserve

Super fun hike down to the beach and then back through the woods. Going in, we knew there were crumbling buildings on the property, but what we didn't know was where they were. We treated our trip there like a treasure hunt and were able to "discover" some hidden, dilapidated and overgrown structures. Looking forward to going back to look for more surprises!

Nice trails that lead to a beach and some graffitied abandon building and greenhouse. Nice for a trail run or hike.

A beautiful and peaceful place. Quiet trails that take you through woods, marshes and out to Long Island Sound. On the grounds of the Holocaust Museum.
Dogs not allowed but many people ignore that, so be prepared if you are a runner!

I loved it here. Amazing nature with so much life. Great trails, holocaust memorial museum and garden , abandoned green house, and sand beach, field, etc. Highly recommend.
So many rabbits, butterflies, chipmunks, birds, etc. Overall very nice trails and a beautiful, small pebble beach overlooking the LI Sound near the trail. Welwyn Preserve is truly a gem.
Parking lot available to park.

One star out because their was no restroom available... and i searched. There should be public restrooms here... the Only restroom I saw is for the holocaust memorial building visitors.

shame they don't break the stars out=it would give them 3.5. nice enough for what it is, we went to the water & not to the abandoned buildings. since heard that side was much more interesting. one of the problems is that there is NO signage to direct you. large area with the Holocaust Museum in the 'middle'. seems like a walking place, lot of hikers/walkers & dogs. next time perhaps we will try the other side & see the abandoned buildinns & the graffiti...
